Wood Stove vs. Rocket Mass Heater

1 comment:

How to burn wood efficiently and cleanly. This is truly sustainable heat. I cannot think of any form of heat that is more sustainable. After all, this is just burning the twigs and branches that naturally fall of the trees in your yard. This may be the biggest thing that can possibly be done to save energy or save electricity.

He used to heat his home with four cords of wood with a wood stove and now burns a half cord of wood each year. He now burns tree trimmings.

In this video he give us a tour on how the rocket mass heater holds heat throughout the night and into the next day while the wood stove required constant feeding. My other videos dive into the tutorial aspect.

About Me

My name is Susie. I live in a tiny fishing town on the coast of Washington state.
I am starting a Blog about my adventures into Homesteading, Tiny House, Off-Grid, Perma-Culture lifestyle.
It's a completely novice adventure. Being a single, not-too-smart woman of over 50 years of age, I'm expecting a lot of screw-ups.
Alot of people don't know what being off-the-grid is about, or what a permaculture is. I invite you to do your research and change your life. Maybe no one will read my little blog and that's okay. It's here to help me keep my thoughts and goals clear while sharing my endeavor with you. Your input would be greatly appreciated, especially encouragement! Thank you all!
